Royals Expected To Maintain High Asking Price On Wacha, Lugo
Wacha (3.45 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 91 SO) remains KC's only viable trade asset as a sub-4 ERA starter; Lugo (4.56 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) offers minimal leverage. At 38-55 with a -71 run differential, the Royals' leverage erodes by the day unless a contender absorbs both salary risk and mediocre peripherals.
